These forms are here to make abstracting your records simple while creating a .txt file ready for the USGenWeb Archives.
Once you have filled in the information and click on SUBMIT your file will be
created and automatically
sent to the Archives Manager for that county. Once the Archives manager receives
the file they will
upload it and add a link on to the County Archives page for your file and will
notify you that it has
been posted. In most cases, this will be within a few days but in cases of large
or numerous files
it could take a bit longer. If you do not see your file on the County Page
within a reasonable amount
of time please contact the Archives Manager for that county.
In some cases the County Mailing List Administrators have requested that
files created through these
forms be mailed to the County Mailing List. In these counties a file is sent to
the Archives Manager
for the county and a copy of the file is emailed to the corresponding county
mailing list. A list of those
counties which send to the mailing list can be found
here.
These forms are not mandatory and will not be suitable for some
records.
You can always submit your records directly to the Archives Manager.
At the bottom of each form you have the option to select up to 3 counties where
your file
should be posted. You must select one county, the other two are there in
the event the record
you are submitting needs to be listed in more than one county.
There is also an option you can select which will allow you to have a copy of
the file created
sent to your email account.
In ALL cases your name and email address are required. This will
appear on the file showing
you as the contributor of the material.
An asterisk ( * ) next to a field means that it is required and the form will
not create the file
until an entry is made into that field. If you try to submit a file and get an
error that data
is missing. Hit the BACK button on your browser to return to your work and enter
the
missing field.
We have tried to test these forms in all situations. Remember though
this is the internet and there are such possibilities as an internet service
provider disconnecting
you at an inconvenient moment. Please take one moment before you hit submit
and highlight
and copy the content of your record so that should a disconnect or error
occur, you can go back
and paste the material without retyping.
Thank you so much for sharing your records with others!!!!!
If you have any questions please contact Debra Crosby at

These guidelines are subject to change.
Once submitted, the data can't be retracted by submitter. (This rule
causes concern to many potential submitters. The reason for this rule is that
the volunteer file managers spend many hours preparing the files in the proper
format for viewing by all types of computers. We have to discourage submissions
- retractions - submissions - retractions because of the volume of data that is
submitted. The USGenWeb Archives are accessible FREE and will remain FREE, to
researchers. The files within will not be used for any commercial purposes by
the USGenWeb Project.) Copyright to data contributed to resides with the
contributor, who agrees that the USGenWeb Archives, as a not-for-profit project,
